Disruption of the blood-brain barrier (BBB) is a hallmark event in the pathophysiology of
bacterial meningitis. Several inflammatory mediators, such as tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α…

We present O(loglog n) -round algorithms in the Massively Parallel Computation (MPC)
model, with Õ (n) memory per machine, that compute a maximal independent set, a 1+ε …

We present three semi-streaming algorithms for Maximum Bipartite Matching with one and
two passes. Our one-pass semi-streaming algorithm is deterministic and returns a matching of …

Observations addressing effects of aerosol particles on summertime Arctic clouds are limited.
An airborne study, carried out during July 2014 from Resolute Bay, Nunavut, Canada, as …

Krill and salps are important for carbon flux in the Southern Ocean, but the extent of their
contribution and the consequences of shifts in dominance from krill to salps remain unclear. We …

We consider the unweighted bipartite maximum matching problem in the one-pass turnstile
streaming model where the input stream consists of edge insertions and deletions. In the …

Background The metacestode of the tapeworm Echinococcus multilocularis is the causative
agent of alveolar echinococcosis, a lethal zoonosis. Infections are initiated through …

The innovative strength and competitiveness of a company depends on mastering the growing
complexity of digitally networked products in an efficient way. The complexity is driven by …

Receptor kinases play a key role in the communication of cells with their environment and
could be important mediators of the effects of host cytokines on endoparasitic organisms. In …

Most total knee replacement joints consist of a metal femoral component made from a cobalt‐chromium‐
molybdenum (CoCrMo)‐alloy and a tibial component with an ultrahigh …
